linker error with version 2.23

[dlchnr]

These days I started to transfer a patch enabling user configurable
explicit fold points (like jEdit's "Configurable Fold Handler")
from SciTE/Scintilla version 2.11 to SciTE/Scintilla version 2.23. I
haven't had problems to compile SciTE/Scintilla with
"Vicual C++ 2008 Express Edition" until SciTE/Scintilla version 2.12,
but after this version I got linker errors first when building
SciTE (version 2.20, version 2.21, version 2.22 and version 2.23), now
when building Scintella (version 2.23) - do I need a full
version of Microsoft Visual Studio to compile the latest version of
ScitTE/Scintilla or can someone give a hint, what I've to do,
building will work without linker errors?

I've detected the problem for the linker error building SciLexer 2.23
- LexA68k.cxx must be added to the project.
Have I to add another file to the SciTE project to solve the linker
errors in that case too?

[dlchnr]

It seems, the unresolved external will be produced within

#ifdef THEME_AVAILABLE
.
.
.
#endif

blocks inside SciTEWin.cxx.

The SciTE project can be successfully built, if

#ifdef DTBG_CLIPRECT
#define THEME_AVAILABLE
#endif

will be changed to

#ifdef DTBG_CLIPRECT
//#define THEME_AVAILABLE
#endif

inside SciTEWin.cxx - therefore DTBG_CLIPRECT must be defined, but I
can't find its definition - and I can't find any source code of the
missed functions???

An updated project file is available from Hg.
https://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=hg&group_id=2439

You need a newer version of the Windows SDK

I've found it - DTBG_CLIPRECT will be defined in Microsoft SDKs'
Uxtheme.h.
I've to add UxTheme.lib and Msimg32.lib to the link line - correct
solution (I wonder, I've to add something to the project ?-)?

I've installed SDK v6.0A - is it ok, to add the two libraries to the
link line or do I have to upgrade to SDK 7.1?

Thx dlchnr

My copy says "Windows SDK for Visual Studio 2008" rather than a
version number. I think its a subset that could be quickly downloaded.

Something like that.

I use the make files (scintilla\win32\scintilla.mak and
scite\win32\scite.mak) since they can more readily cope with the
different versions of Visual Studio.
